ASHA workers petition Kurnool MP for higher wages
ASHA workers in Kodumur demanded a minimum wage of Rs 26,000. Led by CITU mandal president GP Veeranna, they submitted a petition listing 11 demands to Kurnool MP Bastipati Nagaraju. They sought regularisation of ASHA workers, all categories of leave, priority for trained ANMs and GNMs when permanent posts are filled, and an increase in the number of ASHA workers in line with the growing population. The workers said the MP assured them he would take the issues to the government's notice.
